Current IT trends, such as cloud computing, hybrid IT, automation, AI, and 5G, are transforming network infrastructures and how they’re managed. To remain successful in a changing industry, IT managers must have the proper management tools and technology in place to support these IT trends while maintaining full control over data center operations and offering a broad range of IT-based services — from traditional critical infrastructure to emerging new digital services. Let’s take a closer look.
Cloud-first or hybrid IT strategies increase the complexity of infrastructures. With the cloud shift, its components become more dynamic, volatile, and short-lived. While this means the amount of information about the infrastructure grows, the validity of the information decreases. Infrastructure managers need to adopt an integrated documentation solution for greater transparency into these complex infrastructures.
